The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Jaconé. The water is sitting at 72°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary there.
The start of the outlook is a bit of a slow burn. Sunday the 26th and Monday morning are pretty ordinary, with a weak and messy energy level (633) and the wind is a bit of a pain. But hold on – Monday morning the 27th sees the wind swing offshore from the NE. It’s a gentle breeze, so the surface will be clean. Swell is a modest 3 ft from the south at 12 seconds – that’s a long period, a proper groundswell. It’s more of a point or reef setup wave, but it’ll have shape. It’s not a standout, but it’s a solid start. The energy is still moderate (389).
The real standout begins to build from the 1st of August. Saturday the 1st has a clean 3 ft south swell, with that light offshore NE wind. Then Sunday the 2nd morning is your first proper highlight. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the ENE, but the period is a short 7 seconds – that’s windswell, a bit jumbled. Still, with light offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and fun. Energy is moderate (454).
But the best of the best is Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th of August. The swell pumps up to 10 ft from the SSW on Thursday morning, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is massive (3098). The wind is a moderate offshore from the NE, so it’s going to be clean. However, at 10 ft, this is for experts only. It’s too big for beginners. The break is exposed, so it will be handling that size. Friday the 7th morning is still excellent, with 8 ft from the south, a 13-second period, and glassy conditions. Energy is 1801. This is the epicenter for experienced surfers. Saturday the 8th morning is still solid, with 7 ft from the SSE and a gentle offshore wind, but it’s a step down.
After that, the swell drops off. The 9th and 10th of August have clean, smaller surf (5 ft down to 3 ft) with light offshore winds, which is good for a longboard or a fun session, but nothing compared to that big pulse.
There’s a gap of about four days from the end of July to the start of August where the surf is very small, but it picks up nicely. The main takeaway is that the 6th and 7th of August are the real deal – big, clean, and powerful. If you’re not an expert, stick to the mornings of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for some fun, clean waves.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
